A Comprehensive Automation Ecosystem for Thermal Processes
All processes. All data. A coordinated system.
In industrial heat treatment, requirements are increasing:
standards-compliant documentation, stable processes, energy efficiency, and IT security must all be ensured simultaneously—despite rising costs and limited personnel resources.
Demig addresses this complexity not with standalone solutions, but with an integrated automation ecosystem that combines controllers, software, and data into a seamless system architecture. Instead of isolated solutions, plant control, process control systems, sensors, data infrastructure, and analysis tools work seamlessly together as a single, integrated system.
This creates end-to-end workflows—from data acquisition at the plant to evaluation in the management system. All components interlock to form a coordinated, comprehensive solution rather than many isolated, standalone solutions.
Your benefits:
One System Instead of Many Individual Solutions
In many production environments, there are separate systems for control, data acquisition, and analysis. This leads to duplicate data structures, manual data transfers, and increased coordination efforts.
The Demig ecosystem systematically connects these levels. Data is collected directly at the plant, processed in the process control system, and made available centrally. From there, it can be transferred to higher-level systems.
All components access a common system structure and are coordinated with one another. This creates a cohesive workflow in which the individual systems do not operate in isolation but are seamlessly integrated.
Hardware and Software as a Coordinated System
A key component of the system is the close integration of hardware and software.
The controllers manage the plants and simultaneously collect the relevant process data. This data is continuously transferred to the control system and processed there.
The underlying system configuration describes the entire plant and remains consistent across all levels. It is stored in both the controller and the control system. This allows the plant’s state to be quickly restored even after a failure.
Control, data acquisition, and system description are interlinked and form a common foundation for operation.
Despite its technical depth, the system remains user-friendly in day-to-day operations. Process flows can be customized via structured interfaces without the need for traditional PLC programming. Symbolic programming makes it possible to define and adjust processes directly within the system. This allows even complex processes to be implemented without specialized IT or PLC expertise.
Process Data and Documentation During Operation
Data is generated directly within the process and recorded continuously. This includes, for example, temperature profiles, batch information, energy consumption, and operator interventions.
Since all systems operate on a common platform, this information is not available in isolation but is directly linked to the respective process. It can be used for evaluations, quality documentation, or audits without any additional manual effort.
Documentation is generated automatically during operation and is available at any time for analysis, quality verification, or audits.
Integrate and Expand Existing Systems
Demig systems are designed for long-term use and grow with your requirements. Thanks to backward compatibility, new components can be easily integrated into existing systems. This allows you to modernize your automation step by step without having to completely replace proven structures.
The modular design allows functions and components to be added incrementally. Expansions can be implemented as needed and integrate seamlessly into the existing infrastructure without disrupting current processes.
Both hardware and software can be flexibly adapted, expanded, and further developed.
